⇑Test: Is Digital Chemistry the right fit for you?

chemists-comparing-a-molecular-model-with-a-computer-simulation

10 questions · two minutes

1. Instead of synthesising hundreds of compounds, you could screen millions of them virtually. How does that sound?

2. How do you feel about quantum chemistry calculations, such as density functional theory?

3. How do you feel about writing Python scripts to process chemical data such as structures or spectra?

4. Your machine learning model predicts solubility very well on training data but fails on new molecules. What do you do?

5. How do you feel about automated labs where robots run experiments and feed the results straight into a database?

6. The programme is taught in English, and you’ll work on computational projects with graduates from many countries. How do you see that?

7. A public chemical database contains inconsistent structures and mixed units. How do you handle it?

8. You work with experimental chemists who don’t trust simulations. How do you approach them?

9. Which future role sounds most like you?

10. What motivates you most to pursue a Master’s degree in Digital Chemistry?

⇑Definitions and quotes

Chemistry
Chemistry is the scientific discipline involved with compounds composed of atoms, i.e. elements, and molecules, i.e. combinations of atoms: their composition, structure, properties, behavior and the changes they undergo during a reaction with other compounds. Chemistry addresses topics such as how atoms and molecules interact via chemical bonds to form new chemical compounds. There are four types of chemical bonds: covalent bonds, in which compounds share one or more electron(s); ionic bonds, in which a compound donates one or more electrons to another compound to produce ions (cations and anions); hydrogen bonds; and Van der Waals force bonds.
Digital
Digital usually refers to something using digits, particularly binary digits.
Chemistry
Like literature, philosophy is not distinguished from other subjects by a specific approach to a subject-matter independent of it. Chemistry deals with chemicals, biology with life and astronomy with very large, very distant objects. Philosophy can boast no such definite subject-matter.
David Wood (philosopher) (1990) Philosophy At The Limit. p. 69
Chemistry
The alchemical tradition assumes that every physical art or science is a body of knowledge which exists only because it is ensouled by invisible powers and processes. Physical chemistry, as it is practiced in the modern world, is concerned principally with pharmaceutical or industrial research projects. It is confined within the boundaries of an all-pervading materialism, which binds labor to the advancement of physical objectives.
Manly Palmer Hall (1988) Meditation Symbols in Eastern & Western Mysticism
Chemistry
Modern warfare, we discovered, was to a far greater extent than ever before a conflict of chemists and manufacturers. Manpower, it is true, was indispensable, and generalship will always, whatever the conditions, have a vital part to play. But troops, however brave and well led, were powerless under modern conditions unless equipped with adequate and up-to-date artillery (with masses of explosive shell), machine-guns, aircraft and other supplies. Against enemy machine-gun posts and wire entanglements the most gallant and best-led men could only throw away their precious lives in successive waves of heroic martyrdom. Their costly sacrifice could avail nothing for the winning of victory.
David Lloyd George (1938) War Memoirs
